Havia, histórias de coisas que Havia e de outras que vai havendo
is a 78-page long book, available only in Portuguese. It is a collection of very short stories, which seem to always end exactly the same way they began, but then again completely different.
These 23 short stories were written between 2002 and 2003, and are the tip of the iceberg of some other two or three hundred that stayed in the drawer. Were these the best? No, just the ones that laid on top.
Despite the fact some characters are obsessive-compulsive, manic depressive, or just darn odd, a lot of people still believe it's a children's book. I guess because it is bright orange and had beautiful drawings (by my good friend Daniel Melim).
It is currently sold out.
